[Jobs] Carnegie-Mellon: position in decision making & public policy.

[Leora Lawton]

THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND DECISION SCIENCES AT CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY seeks
candidates to fill a junior tenure-track position in decision making and public
policy.

Candidates should have a strong commitment both to applying decision-making research
to public policy and to creating the scientific foundations for such applications. 
Their letter of application should describe a research program designed to influence
public policy and contribute to basic knowledge.  Although policy interests could be
in any area, the department has strengths in environment, energy, health, safety,
finance, national security, and risk.  Teaching would support the department's
educational programs.

The department is interdisciplinary, with faculty members from psychology,
economics, political science, decision science, and history.
Several have joint appointments in other departments, notably Engineering and Public
Policy.  Collaboration is a hallmark of the Department and University.
